State oil and gas hearings held in Glenwood Springs

Elise Thatcher

The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission will hold hearings in Glenwood Springs on Tuesday, which gives the public a chance to comment on development proposals in Battlement Mesa.

 

The meeting offers a chance for citizens to share their thoughts with the state regulating commission, known as the COGCC, about several proposed well pads in Battlement Mesa.

 

 

The state agency holds meetings about eight to ten times a year, and this is the only meeting planned for the Western Slope. One of two pending applications for well pads near a Battlement Mesa neighborhood was approved on Friday; the state has not yet ruled on the other.

Public comment begins at 9 a.m. at the Glenwood Springs Community Center.
